Hi All,
I’m new here to the Nefarium. I signed up a while back, but Friday the 13th seemed like as good of a day as any to upgrade to a full member. 🙂
So anyone hear about this news that just broke a few hours ago of “multiple explosions” hitting Saudi Aramco oil processing facility in Buqyaq, Saudi Arabia?

What’s the over/under on how long it takes them to point the finger at you know who on this one? Quite an interesting trend seems to be emerging… Every time it looks like the Trump administration is signalling a de-escalation or withdrawal from the region (most recently the firing of John Bolton), that within days some magical event seems to happen that inevitably leads to the Ziocons calling for some kind of response or saber rattling?
On another note, I also find it interesting (and no coincidence) that this reported explosion happened the day after a report from The Journal claimed that “big U.S. investment banks” are “crowding into the Aramco IPO.”

Penny for everyone’s thoughts… Who done it? Who stands to gain? Who stands to lose?
Cheers,
Drew

And there you have it! I hope you took the under.
The Associated Press
BREAKING: Saudi Interior Ministry says drone attacks caused 2 fires at Saudi Aramco facilities; says blazes under control.
My gut says this is the Ziocons payback for removing Bolton, but I’m sure it’s also much bigger than that. There is so much going on in the background this week. Bolton gone, Israel White House spy device story in the news this week, Netanyahu meets with Putin… and then BOOM!
First I’ve heard of this story! Thanks for posting.
From ZeroHedge…
Oil To Hit $100? Half Of Saudi Oil Output Shut After Drone Strikes Cripple World’s Largest Oil Processing Facility
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/massive-fire-after-drone-strike-hits-worlds-largest-oil-processing-facility-saudi
“Saudi Arabia is shutting down about half of its oil output after apparently coordinated drone strikes hit Saudi production facilities, people familiar with the matter said, in what Yemen’s Houthi rebels described as one of their largest-ever attacks inside the kingdom.”
“The production shutdown amounts to a loss of about five million barrels a day, the people said, roughly 5% of the world’s daily production of crude oil. The kingdom produces 9.8 million barrels a day.”
Hold on to your seats everyone… This could get interesting.

If this tweet is accurate, who gave the stand down order?
Remember those Aramco equity sales that never materialized?
Not necessarily, but this is the single most calculated attack on Trump I think we’ve seen, over the course of his Presidency. It looks like they are going for an economic knock out blow.
Think about it.
First, 2 days ago ECB states they will cut rates and resume QE. Result: Stronger dollar.

2. Drone attack on Amarco yesterday severely decreasing oil output. Oil prices will surely spike.
Result: Stronger dollar.
Then today, a flood of articles pushing China and Central Bank crypto currencies. Just google: China Yuan and 10+ articles came out today pushing a crypto digital yuan.
